Wardrobing for the seasonal transition

Monday, January 30th, 2012

The Gathered-loop nursing top is making its entrance this week in three easy-to-wear colors, but don’t let those short-sleeves alarm you. Here, we’ve shown you a couple ways to make this top work for the remainder of winter and well into spring.


This nursing top is totally versatile – taking you from yoga in the morning to errands throughout the day and dinner with hubby in the evening. With a lightweight or chunky cardigan, the Gathered-loop nursing top looks chic when layered.

If you’re an avid reader of our blog, you know how much we love elastic waistbands. Pair this top with your favorite pants or a cute “lunch-out-with-the-gals” skirt featuring those comfy, foldover elastic bands. And, whether you choose heels, rainboots or these fabulous striped clogs, pick a pair of shoes that will offer you ease throughout your day.

The Gathered-loop nursing top is now available at Milk Nursingwear. Shop today for this long-lasting style that you can wear throughout your nursing days!

Dressing up for the season

Monday, December 5th, 2011

We understand that it can be hard to get dressed in the morning, let alone dressed up for a holiday party or other celebration. Instead of dreading “that night” when you have to nurse in public, seize the opportunity to feel refreshed and dazzling in one of Milk’s nursing dresses.

Here, we have shown you how to impress in a few of our best sellers.

The black Keyhole dress is beautiful and basic, so you can pair whatever accent color and accessories you prefer to spice up the overall look. We love this red fascinator and oversized ruby ring. The red flats pull it all together, but the black suede heels are luxuriously feminine and sexy (if you’re ready to attempt the three inches again!). Whichever you choose, this style is perfect for those dressier holiday parties.

Our Everyday dress (shown here in purple) is just that – - perfect for every day. We love that it can take a working mom from the office to a dinner party with just a few accessory changes. Here, we’ve paired a beautiful Missoni print scarf (which can be worn around the neck or draped as a shawl) with glittery purple flats (oh-so-comfy!) and a great-looking bracelet (super chic).

Turquoise is an awakening color in the greys of winter. We have paired our Tiered ruffle nursing dress in that hue with a grey boyfriend cardigan (wear it open!), aquamarine chandelier earrings and grey booties (heels or fringed flats: you choose!). We love the feminine but somewhat casual look of this outfit. It would definitely work at a house party or out for a special dinner.

Don’t delay ~ shop today to take advantage of our holiday dress sale, where all nursing dresses are marked down by up to 45%. And send us your photos so we can see how you have wardrobed your own Milk Nursingwear dresses!

JUST IN: Funny onesies for baby

Tuesday, August 23rd, 2011

Milk just introduced hysterical onesies for babies that will put a little humor back into your routine. From laughable, silly sayings like “Stop texting and change me!” and “Do I look like I was born yesterday?” to precious pearls for the girls and tuxedos for the boys, we carry a really fun assortment of onesies for your little one. We especially love the play on Facebook with the “babybook” tee which features a status update and detailed profile. One About Me section reads: Bald. Unemployed. Still Living with Parents.

You get the idea! These playful Sara Kety onesies make great shower and baby gifts. Or, at $23, you can easily add one on to your nursingwear order for your own child!

Comparison Shopping

Thursday, August 11th, 2011

Milk Nursingwear is defying the myth that nursing wear has to be dull and boring. When you choose to nurse your little one, the last thing you want is to give up your stylish wardrobe.

At Milk Nursingwear, you don’t have to.

We’ve done a little comparison shopping to see how our nursing tops and nursing dresses measure up to the trends of the season. And we’re here to report that they’re spot on!

Just a few hot trends we’ve captured that you won’t want to miss:

*Smocked floral dresses ~ Like daughter, like mommy. The Smocked look is widespread across young girls’ dresses as well as womenswear. And the floral pattern just says “summer” like nothing else can.

*Tiered Ruffles ~ We have seen them on tops and dresses, isolated to the bustline or cascading down the full-length of the garment. Tiered ruffles are soft, feminine and fashionable.

*Crossover Tops ~ The faux-wrap look is seamless, easy-to-wear and flattering to most figures.

*Halters ~ They are hot! Whether they adorn ruffles or a cinched waistline, come in chiffon or cotton, halter dresses are the “it” item of summer. Lightweight and great for a mom on-the-go.

Steamy weather brings in hot new styles!

Thursday, July 7th, 2011

The summer heat continues with the arrival of two warm-weather styles. Our new Sleeveless crossover top and Empire scoop neck nursing top are sure to make your nursing experience in this humidity a cooler one.

The Sleeveless crossover top – with its design inspired by one of our all-time-favorites in longsleeves – is chic in black or cerulean blue. Both trendy and wearable colors, this top offers real comfort and ease at a very affordable price ($39). And it’s super stylish, too (shhhh, no one will even guess that it’s a nursing top!).

Our new Empire scoop neck nursing top is a fresh Milk Nursingwear design featuring our established style and fit. We love the shirring along the top and the neckline is oh-so-sweet, especially when paired with a delicate necklace. In berry and green – and priced at $36 – you just can’t go wrong.

Some perks of our privacy covers?

  • Sizing is generous to keep you completely covered while nursing
  • Unique neckline allows for ventilation and unobstructed eye contact with your baby
  • Cover can double as a sunshade over a front-carrier or stroller to protect baby from harmful UV rays

“My pants won’t button… HELP!”

Friday, April 1st, 2011

Pants won’t button? Shirt’s too short? Belly bands to the rescue.

If you’re pregnant or post-partum, you’ve probably experienced that exposed belly so many of us face during this time. Or you just can’t find a pair of pants that fit properly.

Belly bands have become must-haves for countless women. It is an incredible product that is both functional and chic, offering that oh-so-fashionable layered look without the added bulk. During pregnancy, it virtually extends your wardrobe, allowing you to wear non-maternity pants unbuttoned, while the belly band covers the gap between your pants and your top. Or it works after baby’s birth to help you transition back into your pre-pregnancy wardrobe. A great investment or a great gift at $22-$24, it’s wearable from the early months of pregnancy through post-partum until your pre-pregnancy clothes start to fit. And it has the added bonus of providing extra coverage under any non-nursing top when breastfeeding, so the staying power is long-lasting.

Belly bands will transform your wardrobe in a way that will leave you wishing you had purchased them sooner. So, don’t delay… shop today!

Style Corner: Our Flirty (and flouncy) Halter Dress

Friday, March 25th, 2011

Monday marked the first day of spring, and with its arrival came warmer weather (for some of us). At Milk, we’re excited about sleeveless nursing tops, bright colors and light, airy nursing dresses.

Here, we’ve featured our Flirty halter dress in teal. Wear it with a light-colored cardigan for a cool spring morning, and belt it for a waist-cinching look that proves your fashion know-how. The v-neck boyfriend cardi allows you to retain full access to the dress’ nursing features, so you won’t have to compromise anything. Finish the look with a great pair of Espadrilles – this spring’s hot shoe. We have chosen a comfy pair from Naturalizer that is practical – and oh-so-cute – for moms on the go. And don’t forget your diaper bag! Here’s one we love from Vera Bradley.

Our Flirty halter dress is also available in black and purple. Shop this customer favorite today!
